Oh? Why wasn’t Buhari begging in front of the whole world Togo and China for help fighting against banditry and Boko Haram like he was begging the US?

You did not read where he went to togo to beg for help?

Lukuluku69:


America belongs to the First Nation Tribes and not the white Caucasians presently in large numbers there now.

That space was populated by the Cherokees, the Apaches, Creos, and hundreds of other tribes before they were mass exterminated by the European settlers who couldn't live in peace with each other in Europe in the middle ages.

They came to America on ship christened Mayflower.

As for Muslim "hatred" for America, it is only a reaction to American Policy towards Muslims overtime which is not about Religion but about Dominance, Resources and influence.

The Cubans, Venezuelans, Cambodians, Brazilians, Vietnamese are not Muslims but you need to see and feel the animosity they all have for America.

One Ode suffering from inferiority complex keeps saying he's (Lylod Austin) a millitary officer 'paid to think'
That's a waste of taxpayers money as the collective US leadership have shown they're in fact incapable of very basic thinking.
The millitary officers of the countries you consider to be inferior are paid to fry buns abi?

This fellow also used nairaland to tell me that nairaland is for broke peoole that do not think...can you just imagine
Everyone look at map o.
It transited over the Pacific Ocean before it got to Montana.
The US could have detected it and shot it down as soon as it got to the US territorial waters.

FreddieGray:
They called it a 'spy balloon' but shot it down after it had completed it's mission? Buhari is better than Biden. What's the cost of the ammunition that was expended to shoot it down and how much will it cost China to build another 'spy balloon' Thier damage control attempt is even more embarrassing.

FreddieGray:
"White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters that Biden was first briefed on the balloon on Tuesday. However, she did not explain why the president had waited until it was spotted by members of the public a day later to acknowledge its presence." The mysterious craft was first seen over the western state of Montana on Wednesday, before it traversed the Midwest en route to the Atlantic.

FreddieGray:
In addition, before it got to the US mainland, it transited over the ocean...why were they unable to detect and shoot it down?
The US is just stupid, clueless and incompetent.

FreddieGray:


Btw, Austin had speculated that they could 'tow' this 'spy balloon', guide it to land and study it to gather intelligence. Shouldn't a real 'super power' be able to do that?
Illusion is one thing, reality is another.

tctrills:

But if Togo can defeat the US in 30 minutes, why publicly beg the US? Does Togo and China provide hundreds of million dollars in foreign aid to Nigeria like the US does?

It's not that easy. The US airforce and agencies responsible for monitoring US airspace first have to identify the craft, then the message has to pass through US bureaucracy until it gets to the commander in chief. The commander in chief then has to summon his defense chiefs to ask for advice before he can give orders to shoot it down.

Remember it's a balloon and not a missile or airplane. It cannot be communicated with. They would initially think its one of their own, an unusual weather phenomenon or even UFO. They practically have to send a fighter jet to get close enough to be able to visually identify the craft.

okuta007:


what if the balloon was carrying toxic materials that could cause a rare disease worse than covid 100 times ? they should soot it down over the US so is can kill millions of Americans ?

so you get sense pass those that left it alone until it hit to the atlantic ocean ? if you are so wise how come your country nigeria no get light ? yeye fawo - na to bash america u sabi

Like the ballon did not pass through water before entering Canada Abi China and Canada now shared border.
It took 2 days and 2 fighter jets for the alleged most powerful country in the world to pop a balloon.
Ballon flew over waters which owned USA best navy bases yet they did not see ballon

Pele, this show Nigeria military have a chance against USA military once we pass through her def system

Thank you for giving simple lessons in strategy and logistics to those who are clueless about how things work in the real world.

Stop clowning, the US military is the strongest, most funded, most sophisticated military in the world.

So balloons pass through waters instead of floating through air?
Nigeria’s military which can’t even control crowds, Fulani Herdsman, or Boko Haram? Okay dude.

Did they shoot it down in international waters?
They could have shot it down in international waters before it got to the US or they could have shot it down as soon as it got to the US marine territorial boundary in the Pacific Ocean.
Does this mean any country can fly a 'spy balloon' through the Pacific ocean because the US is scared?

Antiochus:
China said it was a baloon that monitors weather that strayed into U.S. There are other ways of spying out a country from the outer space with powerful satellites a capability China and other world powers possess. I'll wait for U.S to retrieve the baloon and satellite attached to it and analyse to know if it was a spy satellite.

if it strayed, let it be slayed. What are you hating about ?

By trying to make me look like a fool, you’ve proven who the fool really is. Montana is a landlocked state but here you are telling people to look at a map, acting like Montana is next to the Pacific Ocean. How does a guy cut and paste maps from the internet to educate other people without knowing how to read a map?

This is how ahnie monitors me everwhere on nairaland of osewa

Americans and self styled Americans need to go back to school instead of saying rubbish with confidence
China does not share a land border with the US/Canada and the alleged spy balloon transited over the Pacific Ocean to get to the US state of Montana
Canada and the US share an air defense system (NORAD).
Montana is a landlocked state within the US.

Madam if you don't understand sarcasm I can't help you.

Why na, they should have continued to follow the Balloon to do a tour of America Airspace.
They like to turn everything into Propaganda first. What they should have done since, but wise America allow all eyes to see it and all News outlets to capture the event.
I bet you Next time Na 10 balloon America will send into China.

Nothing you cut and paste from the internet negates the fact that you were acting like the ballon was over Montana after it cleared the Pacific Ocean.
For the second time: if you’re a smarter, better military strategist than Lloyd Austin, prove it by getting hired into a position that’ll pay you almost $300,000 each year or even any position where you have a defense budget worth billions or even millions.

Your battery has depleted to 9% and your phone is telling you in red letters that it needs to be charged but you feel that you’re capable of commanding an entire military full of weapons and protect a country full of people. If you can’t keep your phone’s battery strong when it only weighs ounces, what makes you think you can strategically order strikes using jets that weigh tons?
Go and fire up your generator and charge your device, Sir.

There will be nothing of importance to find. Just cameras and a transmitter

China knew it would be shot down and examined so nothing high tech

UncommonLogic:
Yeahp, we shot it down. China messed up big time.
The US will now go through the whole mechanism and technology on the spy balloon.
